Ma'an Tabernacle

This is the road to Ma'an, a village about 2 and half hours south of where we live. At the end of December we had the opportunity to put up a tabernacle for the church there. The pastor, Isidore, is a really good friend of ours and we always tease him because he really lives in the jungle.


Here's the men pushing up the steel frame truss.


This is Joel with Pouma, who is not a Christian yet, but still wanted to help with building the church because he saw it as a good thing. He is very open to the things of God so we are praying he will give his heart to the Lord really soon. We will be having an evangelistic campaign at the church in Ma'an at the end of March. Please pray the Pouma will come and give his life to Christ.


Here's the guys loading up our STL truck with sand to mix with cement for the posts of the tabernacle. We are so blessed to have our STL truck!!

Here is Joel with Isidore, who is the pastor of the church in Ma'an. He is a good friend of ours and worked with us when we were here before.


Here's Joel standing in front of a typical Cameroonian village house. They build them with mud bricks.


The ladies from the church cooked us a typical African meal for lunch. They made chicken, rice, and peanut sauce. It was Yummy! Joel and I love African food!

Here's Kristen with some of the ladies from the church. The ladies had just made lunch for all the workers. This is how they carry everything here.


This one of the cute little boys from the church.

Here's Joel helping put the roof on the tabernacle.

This is the framing and roofing of the tabernacle finished. The church is responsible for putting up the walls so that they have ownership of their church. We put up the posts, frames, and roofing in a day and a half.
